Great for a time, but you have to really drink the koolaid to be there long term.

Pros

1. There is strong branding, so you have a good sense of the company aesthetic and point of view. 2. It's a growing company, one of Liz Claiborne's only successes at the moment. 3. Many good employees

Cons

1. It feels very, very corporate because it's owned by Liz Claiborne. Not the Kate Spade from 10 years ago - Kate herself doesn't even have anything to do with the company anymore which many people don't realize. 2. Feels hard to move up unless you put in a LOT of time, and even then the promotions I saw weren't huge. 3. Strong branding can be a negative if you don't live and breathe ks. You have to totally get behind the "schtick." 4. Some very bad seeds employee-wise too, which can cancel out the good ones. 5. Poor pay

Pros

great staff to work with and nice employee discount. good place to work for sales associates but not if you want to be a part of management.

Cons

was assistant manager and wound up running the store when the store manager left during the busiest time of the year. my team made their plan for 3 months straight for the first time ever and made the bonus plan for the entire year. i did not get any form of appreciation for all my hard work or a raise for doing things beyond my job description for 6 months. they would also give an extra employee increntive when the company wasn't doing well to make their employees spend more of their own money.
